We’re #SeeingTheSeas with Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich 🌊

A collaboration between the U.S. and Europe, this Earth-observing satellite measures the height of the ocean and continues our decades-long global record of sea level rise seen from space.

Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich is now the official reference satellite for Earth’s sea level measurements, meaning other satellites will compare their data to Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich’s to ensure accuracy. #SeeingTheSeas 🛰️ go.nasa.gov/3Ncahpw pic.twitter.com/oQPDgnVGxd https://twitter.com/NASAJPL/status/1506393634190422016

Ocean-monitoring satellite Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich is set to deliver data streams starting this week. Its measurements of sea surface height will help with weather forecasting, monitoring hurricane formation & measuring sea level rise #SeeingTheSeas go.nasa.gov/3gQyMt9 pic.twitter.com/EvbvhPm9DQ https://twitter.com/NASAJPL/status/1407090566026825740

🌊🛰️ After a flawless #SeeingTheSeas launch six months ago, the U.S.-European Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich ocean-monitoring satellite is starting to provide science data, with the first streams available to the public beginning tomorrow, June 22: https://go.nasa.gov/3qjsS87

The Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite is officially #SeeingTheSeas! It sent its first measurements to scientists here on Earth. The first image shows sea surface height data off the southern tip of Africa while the other is radar data as waveforms. go.nasa.gov/3gA8ydP pic.twitter.com/WZyK8IdAe8 https://twitter.com/NASAJPL/status/1337085655399088128

Now that the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite is in orbit, you can tag along on its journey #SeeingTheSeas around our planet using @NASA_Eyes.

Get lifted! Relive all the action from today's picture-perfect launch of Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich. The US-European partnership lifted off from @30thSpacewing aboard a @SpaceX Falcon 9 and will soon be #SeeingTheSeas from orbit. go.nasa.gov/335DHQS pic.twitter.com/GtkPjmokcW https://twitter.com/NASAJPL/status/1330286192961720322

Fair Winds & Following Seas!🌊Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich has successfully entered Earth orbit. It separated from the rocket, unfolded its solar arrays, ground controllers acquired its signal & reports show the spacecraft is in good health. go.nasa.gov/335DHQS #SeeingTheSeas pic.twitter.com/JXVLFO4gvM https://twitter.com/NASAJPL/status/1330228992339800070

Bon voyage, Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich! The US-European Earth orbiter has separated from its @SpaceX rocket and is one step closer to #SeeingTheSeas pic.twitter.com/cvLcTnAHXm https://twitter.com/NASAJPL/status/1330215806781829133

“It was gorgeous. I haven’t seen something that beautiful before.” Michael Freilich’s children, Daniel and Sarah, react as the Earth orbiter named after their father lifted off on its way to start #SeeingTheSeas. pic.twitter.com/ENuPBpiHj5 https://twitter.com/NASAJPL/status/1330209704023388161

AND WE’RE OFF! 🚀 Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich has successfully launched. Congratulations to all involved in bringing this historic U.S.-European mission to life. Our little house on the orbit is set to take critical ocean measurements around the world. #SeeingTheSeas pic.twitter.com/HPlkc4LocC https://twitter.com/NASAJPL/status/1330201682215653376
